Who are you? I went to an art auction last night. Many of the artists were on hand to talk about their work. It was fascinating. However, after the event, I started feeling like I need to DO something in my life, above and beyond the normal stuff. Who am I? What defines me? Maybe I should get back into writing and take it more seriously. Or, somehow create something impactful. Or, live overseas and become a...oh, I don't know. I fell asleep last night all agitated about not wanting to live a mediocre life. What will people remember about me when I'm gone? What will my kids be proud of? What will I create or do that will live longer than me? I get this way occasionally and meeting the artists last night who are so passionate about their work really got me off and running again. I'd let this line of thinking drop for a while, but now it's back and knocking full force on my door. What's my passion?!?!? Where do my innate talents lie? What am I meant to do? What do I leave behind? How do I impact the world? That's one of my quests. That's one of my journeys. I must figure it out. It's driving me insane.
